Home

Here another short update from LA. Here all is great! The people are very nice, the weather is great (like 25deg and lots of sun) and we found a house!!! It is not far from the UCLA campus (purdue avenue for people who like to find it on google maps) and a very nice and tidy one bedroom apartment (so living room and a separate bedroom). Although it was unfurnished, we already furnished it with high quality super trendy IKEA stuff :)

The UCLA campus is really amazing. The libraries are like you know them from the movies (see picture below) and the place is like a city. With on-campus police, doctor, supermarket, store, gym, dentist, hairdresser, 3 or 4 stadiums, several pools, numbers of sport fields and so on.

Our faculty houses in the broad art center. This is a really different building than all the other buildings (they are these classic, old-style buildings). The broad art center is designed by Richard Meier, the same architect that designed the city hall in the Hague.

I've never seen such a huge gym. Ok, lets face I didn't see that many gym's from the inside but still :)
